So many songs, poems and expressions shine light on love, but what does it mean to individuals?
I went on a journey to ask as many people as possible,
what does love mean?
how do you show love?
how do you feel loved?
Below are some of the findings thus far.

Most people express their love in this way.
Exciting, igniting and full of passion.
Fire is the shortest example of life. For it to burn, it must consume what gives it life. A life taken for a life given.
Fire provides warmth but at the slightest absence of attention, one can lose control of a flame that could burn them to their bones.
Treat this love with care and learn to dump a bucket of water over a fire you’ve lost control over.

Not many compare love to water, but I think it’s one of the most important types of love.
Shapeshifting, everlasting and full of nourishment.
Water the things and people you love, daily… not just on holidays. Anytime is a time for love. And water gives without expecting anything in return, in my opinion, an important part of this love.

For the moments that wiz by.
A polite gesture or laughter with a stranger. A moment that passes by before you realize it’s gone.
Don’t be afraid to love “pass-by” moments. Be present in the moment and be kind to those you pass by.
This kind of love can lift a strangers day or even save a life.

The base, where it all starts and ends.
The love of your family and closest friends.
It’s always there, but don’t take it for granted as if you don’t care for your land, it goes to waste. Water your land, care for it and protect it.

The love that most think of last but, I feel should take priority over all.
Love is easier to give and receive when you value who you are. When insecurities and values are present, love comes naturally, even in hard times.
You’ve already made it… you are worthy, enjoy life, explore yourself and learn to love yourself.
Love is contagious.

After asking this question to so many people, I realize we don’t talk about love enough.
We assume we all see, give and receive love the same way. But we don’t.
Ask your partner, family and friends this question, it will give you lots to think about. Learn to express and talk about love if you want to be loved. Love has 0 expectations and 0 assumptions. Love gives, lifts and empowers but it doesn’t owe anyone anything.
